LETTER: Dickens has ideas, knowledge to take city forward

We have known Fletcher Dickert since he was a small boy. We developed a relationship with him through our mutual church activities as well as personally, due to his friendship with our son. During this time, he was a regular fixture in our home, and we considered him family. We still regularly seek him out when we see him at our community events.

We watched as Fletcher completed high school and excelled at Clemson University. We were present when he married his best friend, Ashley, and were so happy when he returned to North Augusta to start his career and family.

Fletcher possesses tremendous character, loyalty and vision, and conducts himself accordingly. He has always called North Augusta home, and with his knowledge of where we've been and his ideas to take North Augusta forward, he will bring a passion to the council to move North Augusta in a positive direction.

Whether it be downtown revitalization, Greenway expansion or continuing the Parks and Recreation amenities that are second to none, Fletcher will be tireless in his efforts to move North Augusta forward and improve our quality of life. From our personal experience, we can say that Fletcher consistently achieves his goals and excels at anything he undertakes.
